Risner
Recovering

Reports from the hospital at Sherman promise that Ben Risner will be able to be home in a few days.

It will be remembered that Risner was
shot from ambush by unknown parties about a month ago and at that time it was
not thought he would recover; but such are the wonders of modern medical skill
and the determination of the patient that he did recover and promises to live
long. His many friends are glad that he is recovering.

(Deputy Sheriff Ben Risner was
shot as he entered his Bennington home on November 29, 1922. The KKK offered a $100 reward for the
arrest of the shooter. Three men were eventually arrested. I do not know the
rest of the story…only that Ben recovered and did not die until 1976.)

Scott
Powel Sick

Hatsell Powell left yesterday
morning for Sherman where he will visit his brother, Scott Powell who is very ill- in fact is not expected to recover.

About a month ago Mr. Powell
was operated on for gall stones and other complications set up.

His many friends
here sincerely hope he may recover. (Mr. Powell died in December of 1924.)

Firm
Dissolves

The firm of Brewer & Braudrick
has dissolved partnership, Mr. Brewer
continuing the business at the old stand.

Mr. Braudrick has not yet
announced what he expects to do; only that he will be around several days
fixing up the affairs of the old firm.

Mr. Brewer has been in the
grocery business in Caddo many years, knows the people, and the trade.

The Civic Club met Wednesday
afternoon with Mrs. C. A. Hancock. The
program was well rendered and much enjoyed. The subject was University Hospital
at Oklahoma City. Four excellent papers were read on the subject.

During the social half hour the hostess served English tea, much to the
enjoyment of the membership.

New
Fire Plugs

The city is putting in two new fire plugs: one in front of Schaffer’s and one in front of Franks’.

This will
make better fire protection and in time will lower the insurance rate in the business
part of town.
